BYU Athletic Communications

The BYU women’s cross-country team jumped six spots to tie for 11th in the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s most recent national coaches’ poll released on Tuesday.

The Cougars benefited from their sweep of the Autumn Classic last Saturday to tie with Providence for No. 11 in the nation. All-American Erica Birk-Jarvis led the team with a time of 17:00.9 that earned her a first-place finish and WCC Runner of the Week honors.

BYU and Michigan both improved six spots to make the biggest jumps in this week’s rankings.
